Past Appearances

Podcasts/Radio

Brian is the contributor of the Paranormal News Insider report heard on the Paranormal King Radio Network every Tuesday night at 8 PM eastern. It was initially heard during the Grand Dark Conspiracy radio show (which in its final year became known as Darkest Hours Late Night). Brian was actually the first guest back in May of 2008 on the Grand Dark Conspiracy and then re-appeared after a number of ghost related guests to discuss cryptozoology. That August, he began to have his own show-within-a-show and has been a part of the program until it went off the air in June of 2015. He was a guest on numerous occasions to this show as well as a co-host. Brian was also a host and guest on a variety of occasions to the ParaNexus Universe show on Blogtalk radio. After 3 1/2 years and 172 episodes ParaNexus Universe came to an end in August of 2011. He has appeared on a number of shows in the past few years (Keeping the Paranormal Friendly Community Show based in Manchester, England, Ohio Crypto Radio, West Georgia Paranormal Radio, and other now defunct shows in addition to the ones shown in his year-by-year appearances).

Libaries and other public/private functions

Brian has appeared at the Westerville Public Library (northeast of Columbus, Ohio) every year since 2009. In 2009, Brian presented "Investigating the Paranormal", a PowerPoint Presentation geared toward the basics of investigating a client-centered case from beginning to end including interviewing, investigating, evidence review, and more. In 2010, Brian presented "Fact or Fiction: Paranormal Events in the Media". For 2011, Brian combined aspects of these two previous topics into a 3 hour presentation, "Paranormal Investigations: Beyond 101". In 2012 he presented "Behind the Curtain" a look at the truth behind belief, investigation, technology, and the beginning and background of paranormal investigation. In 2013 and 2014 he discussed the "E4" Method and its use in client-centered ghost investigations. He will return in 2015.

Conferences and Conventions

Brian has appeared at numerous paranormal conferences and conventions of varying sizes over the years. Residing in Ohio he has appeared in many other states including Virginia at the VA Paraquest in Bedford, Virginia, on April 27, 2014. He also attended the VA Paraquest in 2013. Brian attended the First Forensic Ghost Excavation Congress Convention in Brunswick, Maryland on June 22-24, 2012 as well as the follow-up event in October of 2013. The event was hosted by John Sabol who has pioneered the "Ghost Excavation" technique. Brian also attended the Ohio Paranormal Convention in Dayton, Ohio. Brian appeared at both of the only events presented by Southern Ohio Paranormal Research in 2009 and 2010. In 2009, he presented "Cryptozoology". The audio of the presentation was recorded by the Ghostly Talk Paranormal Radio Show. In 2010, he teamed up with Ghost Excavator, John Sabol, to present "Breaking the Mold". This presentation explored the popular approach to investigating and exposed some fatal flaws, introduced John's method of "excavating", and provided a case analysis from our joint investigation into Farnam Manor in Richfield, Ohio.

In 2010, Brian also appeared at the Mysteries and Paranormal Convention in Sharpsville, Pennsylvania. The event was presented by the Myseries and Paranormal Society based in Sharon, Pennsylvania. The event took place in three separate buildings; the vendors and presenters met the public in the local VFW building, some presenters (including Lorraine Warren) appeared in an old opera house, and others appeared in a Church built in 1882 (Chloe Pierce Church) which also serves as the local historical society building. Brian's presentation, "The Power of Belief in Paranormal Investigation", took place in the Church and discussed the history of the Spiritualism Movement, Psychical Research/Parapsychology, pareidolia, how belief affects paranormal phenomena, and many beliefs in the paranormal that are unfounded.

On October 31, 2009, Brian appeared at the Northeast Ohio Paranormal Convention in Rootstown, Ohio, presented by the Munroe Falls Paranormal Society. He conductd an early and shortened version of "The Power of Belief in Paranormal Investigation" which explored concepts of belief and how it can affect paranormal phenomenon.

Journals and Magazines

Brian was fortunate to appear in an article in the September-October, 2009 edition of "The Journal Of Anomalous Sciences" web-based magazine. The article was born from information he gathered for his group's handbook, information he felt all his investigators needed to know in dealing with the basics of science. The article was titled "The Science of Ghost Hunting and Paranormal Investigation" and focused on a brief history of how science began in the paranormal field, an overview of the scientific method and how ghost investigation fits in, and flaws that hold the paranormal field back. It was a great moment for Brian to realize one of his dreams of appearing in a scientific Journal.

My latest book, "Handbook for the Amateur Cryptozoologist", appears in the New and Notable section of the July/August 2014 edition of the Skeptical Inquirer. Skeptical Inquirer? Yes, to have a book based on cryptozoology to be accepted by the leading skeptical organization is a huge honor and proves that my work is truly balanced. It would be far too easy to have others in the cryptid field give their stamp of approval for a book like this, but to appeal to true science and balanced-minded thinking was the goal with this book.

Brian appeared in the seventh issue of "Beyond Parazine", a paranormal web-based magazine that is based in the United Kingdom. The issue was released in October, 2014, and this magazine is a major sponsor for Paracon UK that takes place on November 22nd and 23rd in which John Sabol will be presenting. The article in which Brian appeared served as a "who's who" for the "Ghost Excavation" team lead by John Sabol and Mary Becker.
